Weird, works for me, but haven't compiled it in the kernel. daemon_saver is
loaded as kernel module on request.
blanktime="300"
saver="daemon"
in /etc/rc.conf works on a GENERIC kernel. Try taking it out of the kernel
config, recompile/install kernel and see if it works then.
Note that without sysmouse, you will have to press a key to clear the
screensaver.

and never get to the software part.
